"Nine in the Afternoon" is a song by the American rock band Panic at the Disco, and the lead single from the group's second album Pretty.

It was the band's first song release that did not include the exclamation mark at the end of the "Panic" in the group's name.

[5] On January 28, 2008, at 9:00pm, Panic at the Disco released "Nine in the Afternoon" via the group's MySpace page.

On the spine of the Australian CD single, the title of the song was misprinted as "Nine in the Morning".

According to an advertisement, the concept of the video for the song is a "series of bizarre yet fundamentally recognizable events with the band members."

In an MTV interview, it is said that in the video "there are gratuitous fake mustaches involved and a rather bizarre parade being led by the members of the band, who are dressed in what could only be described as 'Sgt.

The band members also wear black, red and other colored turtleneck sweaters.

The turtlenecks covered up the mask necks and made it seem the band actually had animal heads.

The sequence where the members run away from a crowd of screaming girls is reminiscent of "A Hard Day's Night".
